BHADERWAH, Feb 19: People of Doda are facing a lot of problems due to unscheduled power cuts.
Among the worst hit by this remained students who are finding it difficult to study in the absence of light and it becomes more difficult for them during night hours.
“Unscheduled power-cuts in Doda have become a routine now and it is not only the students but common people of the area too who are affected by this as winter chill is also there,” Raj Kumar-a local said.
“Even when summer season starts, the erstwhile Doda district faces acute shortage of power supply,” another local claimed.
More locals of Bhaderwah said that they feel helpless due to power crisis in the area.
“We even took the issue to authorities concerned but no heed was paid to our plea and the problem persisted,” some people from Bhaderwah claimed.
They said that it was a complete failure of Power Development Department in Doda as there is no schedule for power cuts.
“Students are the worst sufferers because of these unscheduled power-cuts as their exams are going on and the erratic power supply is badly affecting their studies,” a lady from Bhadarwah said.
“Erratic power supply is badly affecting our studies and we have to study under candle. Poor performance of students in examination is mainly due to unscheduled power-cuts in the area,” Hemani Yogi-a student from Bhadarwah decried.
Pushpinder Goswami from Mohalla Yogi said, in these winter days they get power supply only for few hours with frequent cuts and appealed the district administration as well as Executive Engineer PDD to look into the matter.
